A long running campaign tag-line from the HKTA, with a double message: first emphasising Hong Kong's reputation as a shopper's paradise and somewhere that bargaining, an unfamiliar concept to many Western shoppers, was both expected and accepted; and, second the poster uses a photograph of a Chinese temple to indicate that Hong Kong offers far more than just shopping.
